"Those seeking a more private stay in Barcelona should take a look at these excellent family-run apartments. Located in La Barceloneta, the city's highly picturesque fishermen's quarter on the harbor, each apartment is a one-minute walk to the beach and has been uniquely decorated; some have rustic wooden beams and exposed brick walls, while others feature minimalist fixtures and contemporary furnishings. Each apartment comes fully furnished, with kitchens, bedrooms, bathrooms, and conveniences including wireless high-speed internet. The apartments all have balconies, and some have views of the beach. The ground-floor office serves as a reception area where you can pick up extra towels or cooking utensils and get information about the neighborhood."
